 Abstract

Edward Bond's Lear is the most controversial and violent play and the title itself suggests, a radical reworking of William Shakespeare's King Lear. It focuses on how Bond subverts Shakespeare's text to critique modern political and social structures. Through an anti-authoritarian perspective, Bond transforms Shakespeare's tragedy of personal folly into a dystopian narrative that underscores the violence and alienation inherent in authoritarian power. Bond's reimagined Lear dissects the hierarchical and militaristic society by shifting its focus from the moral tragedy of kingship to an exploration of oppression, social responsibility, and systemic cruelty. Using critical frameworks from Brechtian alienation and Marxist criticism, this article highlights Bond's critique of power and the tragic consequences of its unbridled exercise.

 Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of childhood obesity and its impact on cardiovascular health have become global concerns. Elevated resting heart rate (RHR) in young individuals is a predictor of future cardiac risk; however, consistent physical activity can enhance cardiovascular fitness and autonomic nervous system function, leading to a decrease in RHR. The Indigenous Activity Intervention (IAI), which utilizes culturally relevant exercises, has demonstrated efficacy in promoting physical activity in indigenous populations. However, its effect on RHR in school-aged children remains largely unexplored. This research examines the impact of a 10-week IAI program on RHR in boys aged 12-14, addressing a critical gap in current knowledge. The results could inform public health strategies and school-based exercise initiatives aimed at mitigating cardiovascular disease risks in youth through culturally appropriate promotion of physical activity. Methods: The study employed a randomized controlled trial design, with the experimental group engaging in structured IAI and the control group receiving no intervention. The IAI comprised six indigenous activities conducted four times per week for sessions lasting 50-60 minutes. The study targeted male sedentary students (n=120) aged between 12 and 14 years. Results: The findings revealed a statistically significant correlation between the IA training program and RHR, as demonstrated by the substantial F-value [F (1,117) = 214.597, p < .05]. The eta squared value of 0.647 indicated that approximately 64.7% of the variation in RHR could be attributed to IAI. Conclusion: This study expands our understanding of the impact of structured IAI on cardiovascular health in school-aged children. The outcomes suggest that these programs can effectively reduce RHR through physiological adaptations, underscoring their potential significance in promoting cardiovascular fitness in young individuals.

 Abstract

This research study attempts to assess and calculate the life satisfaction percentage in non-working young and middle aged women from Urban India (Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai). A sample of 300 non-working women from the above cities are considered for the study. Also tried to compare the life satisfaction levels in two groups through quantitative analysis. Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS) - the authors of the scale: Ed Diener, Robert A. Emmons, Randy J. Larsen and Sharon Griffin as noted in the 1985 article in the Journal of Personality Assessment; is adopted for quantifying the life satisfaction in both the groups of non-working women. Descriptive statistics and z-test has been adopted on the samples as the sample size is 300 in total and two sample means. ZSince life satisfaction is very subjective in nature, also adopted qualitative analysis using interview method. The questions were open ended and based on the concept of "Wheel of Life Scale" (Paul J Meyer). The sample size considered for qualitative analysis is 50 as it is an in-depth interview method with open ended questions. This study summarizes different aspects of life where the particular group is satisfied or not with explanations mentioned by them.

 Abstract

The immediate cause for the latest floods was a lower pressure built up over the Bay of Bengal, besides a land-based cyclone, which drew moisture from both Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal: IMD. The devastating floods in Krishna and Godavari River basins that wreaked havoc in several parts of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana in the past week, leading to death of 75 people and displacement of more than 59,000 people in both the states, is unusual in the terms of short spurt of extreme rainfall. The immediate cause for the latest floods, according to the Indian Meteorological Department, was a lower pressure built up over the Bay of Bengal, besides a land-based cyclone, which drew moisture from both the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. The combination of these factors led to very heavy rains in both the Telugu states, starting from the night of August 30 and continuing till September 3.

 Abstract

Popularity has become more accessible in the digital age; wherein ordinary people can also become celebrities without necessarily needing the traditional gatekeepers in mainstream media. Micro celebrity culture is the phenomenon that has shifted the way we perceive and interact with celebrities. Thereby, in contradiction to well-acknowledged celebrities, micro celebrities build their reputation through a gradual process of social media development and sharing of their specialized contents. The article will interpret the case studies of specific micro-celebrities based on the social capital theory on considering their audience-building practice through trust, engagement, and their social relationships that bring completion to their reputation. It will be pursued by three of the most significant methodologies-based content analysis, follower engagement metrics. This article spells out the structure of such an approach from a bottom-up perspective when critically looking into audience-building practices by micro-celebrities, socio-cultural origins of popularity, and wider implications regarding a changing media landscape and broader societal components.
